Should I take a chance,
Is Fate smiling on me somehow,
Or shall I hold back,
Maybe this is another joke,
Fate is playing now,

Should I allow this new love,
To come into my life,
Or is this another game,
Another wound waiting,
To come alive..

Should I trust,
Open my heart again,
Should I believe,
This time it will be,
Something real,
Without pain..

Should I let go,
Of past hurts,betrayals,
And heartbreaks,
Maybe its about time,
Something different awaits,
Maybe I should now,
Take this leap of fate..

Shania~ Don't you listen to the Beatles... Let it be... :() … if it's a ruse, learn to keep things interesting a man is often lead by this need to better himself... if he wants to hurt you, he's going to find a way whether you like him or not? If he respects you he'll keep coming back into your life time and time again. If he loves you he'll keep finding his way into your life like anyone who has hurt you prior. I've been burned needed abused and neglected and regret none of it... Because it made me better along the way... each time it made me stronger so I could face this person I truly needed... this opposite me, one day...

Hmmm actually no I don't.. What you are saying is totally correct, I agree but I feel that life shouldn't just be learning about lessons and experiences that come through hurt etc but should also be about joy that comes from connection with another person

Well, a beautiful woman actually listens to me more than Paul McCartney... scratch that off my bucket list ;)

You write with such passion and voice that speaks volumes whether low or hard your words are still heard by those blinded and or deaf to societies needs and well beings...

Thank you for your lovely words :-)

I've had best friends turn their back and watched me passed out on the floor from drinking while I've had people that weren't so nice to me growing up be the first to defend my right to better myself through any means possible... so in short, nobody ever really is just that cruel or nice and thoughtful this human experience keeps us wanting more cause we've all hurt someone along the way sometimes unknowingly where they had a scar you gained a strength and vice versa... who's to say any of us hasn't regretted what they've done or keep doing unknowingly... in the states we had a story about an old vet that gave this waitress gruff for years on end always complaining... and when he passed... he left her with an astonishing amount of his life savings that was out of her wildest expectations…

Yes life and people are unpredictable..I guess change is part of life

Nice poem .

Thank you

Just heard a saying thought to share: Don't knock on the door where there's no love or respect for you..whether its the door to someone's house or to someone's heart..

So true .

Very heartfelt... the words have a natural flow... straight from the heart.... keep writing... but always follow your gut instinct.. where there is doubt there is a reason it is there~~~

Thank you for your lovely words and sound advice

Even tho I said follow your gut instincts, at times in life we have to take that leap of faith~~~ for one does not want to leave what if's behind in life~~~

That's true as well. Hmmm I think we worry about what ifs more if something goes wrong with our choices. then we wonder what if we had chosen the alternate path, what if we had chosen the other person, how things would have been
